ing lineal mixed models. Results: The Healthy Control group showed a maintained or increased performance on all tests suggesting a practice effect on several processes involved in visual memory such as attention, recognition, recollection, learning and working memory. The MCI group showed a significant decline from baseline to the last evaluation on these visual memory processes. Conclusions: Longitudinal studies add new evidence that the CANTAB tests, PRM, DMS, SSP and PAL are useful for diagnosis of MCI across time in people with subjective cognitive complains. Further longitudinal research is necessary to determine the predictive value of these tests on the conversion to Alzheimer Disease.
